sequently corrected, it was still referred by Brady in his Monograph to Boeck's 

 genus, which in reality is so very different, that in my opinion it cannot even be 

 included in the present family. 



Occurrence. Only a few female specimens of this form have hitherto 

 come under my notice. They were taken free in the sea in two widely-distant 

 localities, viz., at Aalesund, west coast of Norway, and at Hammerfest, western 

 Finmark.

Specific Characters. Female. Anterior division of body rather broad in 

 its posterior part, greatest width however not quite equalling the length. Cephalic 

 segment very large, occupying more than half the total length, and gradually 

 contracted anteriorly, postero-lateral corners very prominent, frontal part nar- 

 rowly produced, with a very distinct crest running along its dorsal face; rostral 

 projection well marked, incurved. Epimeral lappets of the 2 succeeding segments 

 well developed and considerably divergent; those of penultimate segment, however, 

 rather small and conically pointed. Tail only slightly exceeding in length 1 / s of 

 the anterior division; genital segment moderately dilated in front; anal segment 

 not attaining the length of the 2 preceding ones combined. Caudal rami about 

 twice as long as they are broad, and equal in length to the anal segment; outer- 

 most seta at some distance from the apex, and shorter than the innermost; the 2 

 middle setse of moderate size. Anterior antennse about half the length of the 

 cephalic segment, and composed of 9 joints, 2nd joint the largest, terminal joint 

 exceeding in length the 2 preceding joints combined. Posterior antennse resembling 

 in structure those in B. magniceps, except that the outermost apical seta is com- 

 paratively longer. Siphon scarcely extending beyond the insertion of the 1st pair 

 of legs. Maxillse with the lobes less slender than in B. magniceps, apical seta 

 of the inner one short, those of outer lobe very coarse, spiniform, and finely denti- 

 culated. Anterior maxillipeds with the dactylus rather strong and provided at 

 some distance from the end with 2 small thumb-like prominences, against which 

 the curved terminal claw may admit of being impinged; secondary spine very 

 small and placed outside the said prominences. Posterior maxillipeds normal. 

 Natatory legs resembling in structure those in B. magniceps, except that the inner
